"Really, I can really go into the palace to visit my father?" When Princess Pingyang heard the news brought by Li Xiu, she couldn't believe it for a while. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Of course it's true, didn't I promise you before?" Li Xiu also said with a smile on his face at this time, although it was not easy to meet Li Yuan and convince him, Princess Pingyang had been worried about Li Yuan these days, which was not good for her and the child in her belly, so Li Xiu felt that this deal was still worth it.

"Great!" Princess Pingyang first shouted excitedly, but then asked with some confusion, "I remember that he doesn't seem to have returned to Chang'an, how can he allow us to go to see my father?" ”

"It's nothing, I wrote a letter to King Qin some time ago, which mentioned this matter, and it is said that Your Majesty is also in a bad mood during this time, so King Qin agreed that we should go to see Your Majesty, and in the future, as long as the princess is willing, you can enter the palace at any time to see Your Majesty!" Li Xiu did not tell Princess Pingyang the truth, after all, she is now his wife, and intrigue like this in the court only needs to be handled by herself.

"Quick! Go and get ready for the carriage, I'm going to enter the palace now!" When Princess Pingyang heard this, she immediately instructed the maid next to her, and the whole person was so excited that she even trembled a little, which is not surprising, after all, she lost her eldest brother, and the youngest brother was forced to leave Chang'an, which also made Princess Pingyang only have Li Yuan, the closest person left, although their father and daughter had some contradictions before, but now it seems that it is nothing.

The carriage was quickly ready, Li Xiu helped Princess Pingyang to get into the carriage together, and then rushed to the palace as fast as possible, and sure enough, the generals guarding the palace quickly let them in after confirming the identity of Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang.

However, after entering, Li Xiu found that the current palace was more heavily guarded than before, and there might not be anything to see from the outside, but when he entered the inside, he would find that there would be a guard almost every few steps, and the patrol team was walking around the palace non-stop, not to mention people, and it was impossible for even a bird to get in.

In fact, Li Xiu saw with his own eyes that someone used a bow and arrow to shoot down the pigeon flying in the sky to check, the Tang people already knew how to use pigeons to send messages, and called pigeons flying slaves, but there are still very few people who can use pigeons to send messages, and only people in the court will use this method, so Li Shimin's people are also guarding against someone using pigeons to communicate with Li Yuan.

Seeing the heavily guarded appearance in the palace, Princess Pingyang in the carriage couldn't help but snort coldly, although she didn't say anything, but there was an angry look in her eyes, after all, in her opinion, Li Shimin's actions were simply treating her father as a prisoner, not the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

The carriage passed through the courtyard, and finally came to the Ganlu Hall as the emperor's bedroom, and when the carriage stopped, Li Xiu took the lead in jumping down, and then helped Princess Pingyang to get out of the carriage, although the pregnancy time is not very long, but usually pay attention, in addition, if you observe carefully, you can already see that Princess Pingyang's lower abdomen is slightly protruding, and the whole person is also rounded, and it looks more feminine.

Compared with other places, the Ganlu Hall is surrounded by heavy soldiers, and the surrounding palaces seem to have been emptied, leaving only the Ganlu Hall in the middle and the square outside without troops, and the palace maids and attendants who used to come and go are gone, making the outside of the Ganlu Hall look empty, and there is an indescribable depression.

At that moment, Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang came to the gate of the Ganlu Hall along the passage, and before they entered, they heard a burst of silk and bamboo sounds coming from inside, which made Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang also stunned for a moment, and then they stepped into the main hall, and the situation inside also made them wonder if they were in the wrong place for a while.

I saw that in the main hall, several dancers were dancing with the music next to them, and the surrounding musicians were also shaking their heads and playing musical instruments one by one, and on the main hall, Li Yuan was holding a wine glass in one hand and a beautiful woman with thin sleeves in the other, enjoying the song and dance while drinking, looking so unhappy!

"Father!" Seeing Li Yuan's profligate appearance, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but feel her blood surge, and shouted angrily at the moment, her eldest brother, that is, Li Yuan's son, had been killed, but as a father, he did not show the slightest sad expression, but drank here for fun, which was unbelievable.

Li Yuan was already drunk seven or eight points at this time, and when he saw Princess Pingyang and Li Xiu coming in, the expression on his face was obviously stunned for a moment, and he instinctively pushed the beauty in his arms away, and after tidying up his clothes, he laughed and raised his glass and said: "Pingyang, you are here too, come and pour wine for your father, our father and daughter haven't sat together to drink and chat for a long time!" ”

"Stop!" Princess Pingyang didn't pay attention to Li Yuan's words at all, but ordered with an angry face, those musicians and dancers also knew her, and they all stopped one by one, and then saw Princess Pingyang strode up to Li Yuan, stretched out her hand and grabbed his wine glass and threw it to the ground and asked, "Father, the eldest brother is no longer here, why do you still have the heart to drink here?" ”

Facing Princess Pingyang's questioning, I saw that Li Yuan smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and then waved his hand to let the people around him retreat, and when only their father and daughter and Li Xiu were left in the palace, Li Xiu smiled bitterly and said: "What can I do if I don't drink here, do you want me to avenge my eldest son and then kill my second son?" ”

Li Yuan's words revealed infinite desolation, and when Princess Pingyang heard this, tears also welled up at once, I am afraid that only their father and daughter will feel this contradiction and heartache in this world. And Li Yuan finally put down his usual disguise in front of his daughter, and tears also flowed, the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, and there is nothing more painful in the world than this.

"Father~" Princess Pingyang saw her father's tearful appearance, she couldn't help it anymore, and threw herself into Li Yuan's arms with a sad cry, and Li Yuan no longer hid her grief at this time, and for a while the father and daughter hugged their heads and cried, crying for Li Jiancheng, who died tragically, and also for themselves!

Li Xiu next to him quietly looked at the father and daughter who were crying, and didn't know how to react for a while, that is, he wanted to persuade Princess Pingyang not to be too sad, so as not to hurt her body, but she was afraid of disturbing their father and daughter, after all, it is not a good thing to hold some things in your heart, and sometimes venting it will make people feel more comfortable.

I saw Li Yuan and Princess Pingyang's father crying for a while, Li Xiu just stood motionless next to him, and finally they finally stopped crying, and then Li Yuan wiped the tears on his face and said, "Pingyang, how did you get in?" Your second brother has blocked the palace during this time, forbidding anyone to see me, and I can only anesthetize myself by drinking and singing and dancing, and I don't even know the situation in the outside world. ”

"He is not my younger brother, and I, Li Xiuning, do not have a brother who killed his brother and imprisoned his father!" Princess Pingyang wiped the tears from her face fiercely when she heard this, and after seeing her father, his hatred for Li Shimin did not weaken, but became stronger.

"Alas, I also wish I didn't have such a son, but ......" Li Yuan sighed at this time and said, and when it came to the end, he couldn't say any more. At this time, Li Xiu also found that after not seeing him for a few months, Li Yuan seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, and there were more gray hairs on his head, and perhaps because of his indulgence during this time, his whole person looked even more haggard.

Seeing her father's helpless and sad appearance, Princess Pingyang also felt even more sad, so she didn't want to touch the sore spot in her father's heart again, and immediately said: "Father, the reason why I was able to enter the palace this time is thanks to Li Xiu helping me, and he also persuaded that person that I can enter the palace at any time to visit you in the future!" ”

Hearing Princess Pingyang mention Li Xiu, Li Yuan only noticed that there was another person in the hall at this time, and at this time, Li Xiu also hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Minister Li Xiu see Your Majesty!" ”

Seeing Li Xiu, Li Yuan sat up straight, unconsciously revealing an imperial majesty, but soon said a little deflated: "No need to be polite, thank you for being able to help Pingyang enter the palace to visit me!" ”

"Your Majesty is polite, Xiuning's business is my business, so these are also what I should do!" Li Xiu smiled faintly and said, although he also had some sympathy for Li Yuan, he also knew that Li Yuan and Li Shimin were the same kind of people, and now that he had lost his imperial power, he naturally behaved more like a father, but if he regained the imperial power again, he would immediately become the original ruthless emperor.

Hearing that Li Xiu actually admitted his relationship with Pingyang in front of him, Li Yuan also felt a little unhappy in his heart, but at this moment, his gaze inadvertently swept over Princess Pingyang, and the result was very shocked: "Pingyang! You...... You seem to have gained a lot of weight? ”

In fact, Li Yuan had already noticed that Princess Pingyang's lower abdomen was slightly convex, and it looked more like she was pregnant, but he was a little reluctant to believe this fact, so he tentatively asked.

Hearing her father's words, Princess Pingyang showed a shy expression, and after a long while, she looked up at Li Xiu, and then said to Li Yuan: "Father, daughter...... My daughter is pregnant! ”

"Li Xiu! You...... You've done a great job! Li Yuan couldn't help but glared at Li Xiu with annoyance when he heard this, although he had long known the relationship between Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang, but now Princess Pingyang was still nominally married, and now if the news of her pregnancy spread, I am afraid it will cause a lot of gossip.

"Your Majesty is angry, Xiuning was originally my wife, so it is natural for her to have my children!" Li Xiu said with an unchanged smile at this time.

"Xiuning is your wife? How come I don't know about this, and if Xiuning is your wife, then who are you the woman I gave you to marry? Li Yuan was annoyed again when he heard this, if Li Xiu hadn't said that Princess Pingyang was his wife, he might not have been so angry, but now Li Xiu's attitude made him even more annoyed.

Hearing Li Yuan's words, Li Xiu couldn't help but look at Princess Pingyang next to him with a worried face, and then he turned to Li Yuan again and smiled: "Your Majesty, as early as a few years ago, I had already decided that Fei Xiuning would not marry, but because of your holy decree, Yi Niang also became my wife, but before I was forced to marry Yi Niang, I had already pulled Xiu Ning to worship in advance, and Pei Xiang was also there at that time, if Your Majesty didn't believe it, but I would ask Pei Xiang for confirmation in the future!" ”

"Okay, my son betrayed me, and now even the person I trust the most has something to hide from me, Pei Lian, I really misjudged you!" Li Yuan couldn't help but roar angrily when he heard Li Xiu's words, Pei Lian's status in his heart was almost more important than that of his sons, and he could even be called his only confidant, and he had always believed that Pei Lin had never hidden anything from him, but now Li Xiu's words made him feel betrayed again.

"Father, Pei Xiang is actually thinking about us, and I ask my father to calm his anger!" Princess Pingyang saw Li Yuan's angry beard trembling, and hurriedly opened her mouth to persuade her, and at the same time glanced at Li Xiu with some reproach, these things actually don't have to be told to Li Yuan now, she is worried that Li Yuan will not be able to withstand these blows.

However, Li Xiu shook his head at this time, Princess Pingyang really underestimated Li Yuan's ability to bear too much, as an emperor, how could he be defeated so easily? You must know that he is the founding king of the Tang Dynasty, such a person not only has a very deep city, but also has an extremely tenacious will, otherwise it would never have been possible to pacify the Central Plains just a few years ago.

I saw Li Yuan gasp a few breaths, and after a while, he slowly recovered, and then glared at Li Xiu fiercely again, and then suddenly sighed, and said in a heavy tone: "Forget it, I am a waste person now, and I can only eat and wait for death in the future, and I have no energy to care about your affairs." ”

"Thank you, Father!" Princess Pingyang heard that Li Yuan acquiesced in the matter of herself and Li Xiu, and said very happily at the moment, with her father's acquiescence, she also felt a sense of relief in her heart, and the big stone that had been hanging in her heart finally fell, and Li Xiu also stepped forward to thank him at this time, but she received a roll of Li Yuan's eyes, and it seemed that it was not easy to make Li Yuan fully accept him.

found out that his daughter was pregnant, Li Yuan immediately changed the topic, and instead began to chat with Princess Pingyang about some more relaxed family matters, and Princess Pingyang also took the opportunity to persuade Li Yuan to take care of his body, after all, he is old, if he still indulges in alcohol like just now, I am afraid it will only make his body collapse. Li Yuan smiled at this and did not speak.

"Pingyang, my father is a little hungry, and I really want to eat the chicken soup made by your mother, but unfortunately your mother is not there early!" At this time, Li Yuan suddenly sighed and said.

"My daughter once learned cooking from her mother and knew how to make chicken soup, and now I will make it for my father!" Princess Pingyang saw that Li Yuan actually wanted to drink chicken soup, and she also stood up very happily and said, after speaking, she turned around and went out to let people prepare materials, and she wanted to make chicken soup for Li Yuan herself, and when she left, only Li Xiu and Li Yuan were left in the hall.
